how many times have you watched the blocked kick and Lance?

Something I noticed from these different angles occurred around the 4:50 mark of the video. As they are showing the Georgia Tech sidelines, you can see about 3 or 4 crutches raised in celebration!

I've watched it more times than I can count. But the kicker (tic) was that I rolled my ankle celebrating while watching it live. But it was worth it!

Great... injuries now impacting our fan base j/k, hope ankle is ok.

I've lost count of how many times I watched it, probably around 20ish including the multi angle video. I even pulled up the replay this morning to show my 1 year old girl the JT TD and the Block-6. She loved it too, even throwing up her arms celebrating the TDs.

Might be in triple digits by now...

 

[MrsDrJacket]

Not nearly enough! Like @DrJacket said, still yell and scream every time I see it - like the outcome's going to change!

 

[Essobee]

A dozen or more times and it just keeps on getting better every time.

 

[UltimateBuzz]

I've watched it at least two dozen times. Pure magic. If I'm the twins' dad, the picture of Lance and Lawrence crossing the goal line for the game winner gets blown up, framed, and hung on my wall.

This is a great one; in perfect step with each other:

I keep fearing that Lawrence is going to celebrate too early and knock the ball out of Lance's hands before he crosses the goal line.

 

[BufordJacket]

I dont even know how many times I have watched it. I record all the games even the ones I go to. So after I got back home from the game and watched it many times. Even watched it this morning before coming to work.

My favorite is Brandon yelling "he scores, he scores!". For some reason, I get teary eyed every time I watch it, very emotional. The best ending to a Tech game I have seen in
59 years as a fan.

I saw the ball get punched out by Lawrence right after they crossed the line...boy would that have been a kick in the nuts if it came out pre-score! Although I think if you go back and look at the tape we probably had a few sideline players running onto the field early once he got past Aguayo. Can you blame then though?

The three specific things I keep watching over and over are:

Lance's cut back inside to make the kicker miss. As Coach Johnson said in the post-game presser, it doesn't matter that the guy is a kicker, the guy was tracking Lance and in prime position to make that last play. As an admitted football layman whose only experience playing football is intramural flag football on the CRC fields, I am in awe of the vision and instincts that Lance had there by deciding to cut it back inside to put the exclamation mark at the end of the game.

The "wall" of blockers. There were 10 other guys on the field there that wanted nothing more than to try to help protect and escort Lance to the goalline. You could probably set it up better for a movie where you had multiple takes to get the shot. I think our guys did pretty well on take one.

The reaction on our sideline. Coach Johnson's reaction going from "get away from the ball!" to "wait... wha... ?" is priceless; the man keeps his headset on as if he's still thinking he's got more coaching to do. Justin shed his calm and collected look on the sideline to join everyone telling Lance to GOOO; I think JT was the 4th or 5th person to make it to Lance to celebrate. Saw MBob jubilantly hug someone and high five one of his staffers. As if to underline what's been going on with this team physically and emotionally up until that point, you can see a few crutches up in the air in the back too.

What a homecoming.

I've lost count.

Oh hey, that's from a few rows behind my seats.

 

[katlong]

I watched it so many times yesterday I lost count, but I think I've actually watched it more today than the entire weekend - all these new angles and stories...2 days later and it's still FUN!

Three thoughts. 1) We got a break that the ball squirted down to our end of the field. Many blocks end up around the line and both teams have a shot of picking it up. When it went part way down the field only we could pick it up, plus it gave Austin some space to chose a running lane. 2) Milton was somehow ahead of the play and got a block around the 15 on someone who had a shot at Austin. 3) After Milton's block, one other player had a good angle and a lot of guys would have kept charging forward and hoping for the best. But Austin had the presence of mind to cut inside and the guy took himself out of the play.

Interesting I thought that he intuitively sought a sideline as giving him the best chance to run it back. Maybe he's been a kick returner somewhere. In the runback itself, a Tech player -- I think number 38 but I didn't catch it -- actually is throwing a basketball pick, using his elbows to box out tacklers behind him. Pretty cool.

I've watched it until my wife is again threatening to leave the house -- I am still concerned, every time, that he won't get through the maze -- but I've convinced her it is a phase I'm in and surely will end by Saturday. Or not.
